WSJ Editorial Board Member Advocates For Free-Market Immigration | Worcester Business Journal

Here’s a wholly libertarian position:

The free market should govern how many legal immigrants are allowed into the country, a member of the Wall Street editorial board said during a discussion hosted by the Worcester Regional Research Bureau.

Jason Riley, author of the book “Let Them In: The Case For Open Borders,” spoke about the ongoing immigration debate and argued for a more lenient guest-worker program that he said would curb illegal immigration while supplying businesses in America with skilled workers.

“An argument for open borders is an argument for allowing supply and demand to control immigration,” Riley argued.

Doing so, he said, would allow the limited resources of border patrol agents to focus on finding “the next Times Square bomber,” not someone coming into the country to “be a nanny.”
